Could you drape this over the arm of the sofa to keep a cat from scratching the side?

I doubt it because it is the pressure of the animals weight that makes it go off

Not sure that would work because it appears to be the pet's weight that triggers it, since as soon as they step on it the alarm sounds. Just scratching probably wouldn't be enough to trigger. As I think about it, however, you could place it on the floor beneath the end of the sofa so that the cat had to step on it to get to the scratching point. Just avoid stepping on it yourself because it will startle you. Good luck

I believe so. The unit requires only a slight amount of pressure to activate but I'm not positive it would work.

My cat walked across the couch and set it off and now will not go near it but yes if you don't need to cover the couch you can drape it over because the battery/alarm pack is heavy enough to hold it in place. Plus couch pillows don't set it off either. I can't believe I have struggled for so many years and in one week it solved my pet/ furniture issues!!

Depends on how big your dog is. I got several to keep 2 cats off the furniture. Works very well. I also put 2 together to make a double-wide barrier to prevent the cats from entering the dining room. That also worked well

If the cat likes to get under a covering or inside things, I would think so. You can zip the top part off so it's just a pillow. Too.

it worked but my cat found other places on the sofa to destroy. covering an entire sofa or chair is not practical. i have chenille and it took off some fuzz but basically was ok. the whole thing did not work for me. my couch is in tatters in various locations. never underestimate the cleverness of the feline who wants to scratch!

Hi. You would just need to drape it over the areas that you do not want the cat on. Just make sure that you understand that the unit will shock you as well if you come in contact with it.Thank you!

It can be prevented. It is designed to sense movement below its line of sight, so I installed it upside down at head level. That way, my two cats can't trigger it even if they climb almost to shoulder height. (To clarify, I installed it in a place where it doesn't get direct sunlight from above.)

I'm with Somanycats. Given that the pad is quilted, it probably would be compromised by cutting it down. You'd have to rebind it, which would be a bit tricky since I believe that there is a layer of water-proof material in the center.

Yes and no. No, you cannot wrap it with the material touching the cat. Yes, you can make an air gap heat shield bending the material to shape and securing it to the frame/body approx one inch way from cat in all places.

There are smaller ones you can use for the arms and this could be used for the back as well. Kept cats off the couch since purchased so I can vouch it does the job.

Yea that is a tough one; I drape it over a folding chair on my porch and it is not the best solution ; but I did think about clipping it to a cloths line on same said porch {I don't use it in the winter}

Yeah my cat scratched all over it and its fine. Very solid like a tablet. Its would be almost impossible to scratch it

It would be a very tight fit and only in one way. I would not advise as it would restrict a cat's feeling of security by feeling "boxed" in.

I guess you can, but you have to find a way to attach it securely, otherwise your cat will escape, since the net is flat. Maybe with staples.

Sometimes....Buy the side wall. It protects against that. The dome maybe Too, but my cats found it too confining I think. The side wall raises the edge about 3-4 inches and keeps that from happening.

Of course with anything, you would want to keep it covered (i.e. tarp, an awning etc), however, I bought this for my friend who had a stray cat, and the cat was extremely happy all winter long. I have had my own for several years now for my stray cats (I keep it under an awning) and my strays have been happy year after year.

So glad it worked for you as well. I, too, had to put a soft towel on the lounger before my cat jumped in. She must not have liked the feel of the bed's cover.

You can place a towel or blanket over it, but I really doubt the cat would use this for a shelter. my large cats wont even use it as a potty as it is small, but efficient.
